Parker Poe hosted a webinar April 28 to provide updates on the multitude of novel challenges employers have faced since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Foremost among these challenges may be the dramatic changes in state and federal employment law and guidance, with federal agencies releasing updates almost weekly.

• Health and safety update, including guidance from OSHA and CDC
• Updated EEOC Guidance
• The Families First Coronavirus Response Act exemptions and exclusions
• Implementation of the CARES Act
  • Paycheck Protection Program
  • Employee Retention Tax Credit
• Unemployment benefits which may be available to employees
